A relational research agenda is developed during the design process. Students integrate explorations into the:
- Form generation potential of single surfaces in relation to the creation of artificial ground.
- Activities of a ‘modern’ recreation program in relation to appropriations of the urban landscape.
- State of the art material systems in relation to local sustainable resources.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Knowledge, Application, Synthesis
- Form generation exercises with physical and digital media
- Investigations with molding techniques leading to the design and construction of material systems applicable in small scale architecture and urban furniture.
- Construction of full scale prototype
